Ensuring a Safe and Reliable Ride Home

A CTS patient was being discharge, and lived home with his wife. His wife did not drive and the patient did not have any other family members to assist him with transportation. The patient attempted to call a city cab that delayed his transport for over an hour, and then never showed up. Kaelyn Edwards, RN and Haylee McGuire, RN from 7 South CVI -PCU were going to make sure our patient had a safe ride home. They had offered to take him home themselves but was on shift until 7:15pm. So, they arranged an uber transportation, paid for his ride in addition to getting his medications picked up from pharmacy and confirmed he got home safely. The patient was so appreciative of the staff kindness to get him home to his wife and said If he every had to be in the hospital again he was coming back to 7 South. Everyone had been so good to him and He knows he was in good hands. Thank You Kaelyn and Haylee for going the extra mile! You are appreciated!
